For Parents and Kids

Safety is a priority at Maritime Electric. The following tips are meant to protect you and your family from electrical hazards.

Power Line Safety

Always treat overhead power lines as if they are energized - getting too close or touching them will result in electric shock.

Parents and Electrical Safety

Protect your children by using appropriately designed plastic plugs to block access to electrical outlets.

Protect your pets by preventing them from chewing on electrical cords.

Ensure your children understand danger signs and teach them to never touch power lines or any electrical equipment.

Kids and Electrical Safety

Never touch a power line because touching a power line can be deadly.

Do not climb trees that are near power lines.

Fences around electric substations are there to keep people away from possible danger. Never enter a substation. If a ball is accidentally thrown into a substation do not try to get it. Tell an adult to contact us immediately for help.

Do not climb electrical poles.

Kites, Drones and Tree Houses

Fly your kites and drones in open parks or fields away from power lines.

If your kite or drone gets tangled in a power line, do not try to get it. Contact us immediately for assistance.

If building a tree house, choose a tree that is not growing near power lines.
